  • Notes 

    • Mary Malarkey was born Mary Joyce in Ireland. (Another variation of the last name is Joice.) Her parents are unknown at this time. And, I haven't been able to find where Mary was born. Unfortunately, death records in the county weren't recorded until 1905 and church records don't list the parents' names nor the place of birth. The exact date of her birth is not known, however, the parish records say she was 62 at the time of her death. Given that, she was probably born in 1843. Her passenger list in 1864 states that she was 20, which would make her birth year at about 1843 or 1844. The 1900 Census says that she was born in January of 1843 or 1845.

      Mary arrived in the port of Philadelphia on April 20, 1864. She had sailed from Liverpool on the Tonawanda. John Mullarkey was also on the ship. Whether he and Mary had known each other in Ireland or whether they met on the crossing, we just don't know. Also on the voyage was a Patrick Joyce and his family. Patrick was 40 years old at the time. He is the right age for Mary's father, but Mary was not traveling with that family. She is listed alone.

      John and Mary were united in marriage on Feb. 4, 1867 in Ashland, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The witnesses were Jacob Munley and Mary Joyce. (Probably her mother or sister-in-law)

      John and Mary had 9 children: Catherine Ada (1867), Marguerite Ellen (1869), John Joseph, (1872), Harry Francis Sr.(1874), Lauretta (AKA Bridget) Veronica (1876), Marion Madeline (1879), Anna Veronica (1882), Rosebud Violet (1885) and Theresa (1889). Another child, Bridget, is listed in the parish register as also being born in 1876. I don't think she could be Laura's twin who did not survive because in the 1880 census, Laura isn't mentioned (when she should have been) but a Bridget is. It seems as if Bridget changed her name to Lauretta when she left home. Whether is was a legal name change is unknown.

      Mary's husband worked in the coal mines in the area and later may have been a shopkeeper while Mary took care of the home and family. They lived in the "Wild Cat" or "Wild Cat Run" area of Girardville.

      Mary died Nov. 1, 1905. Saint Joseph's parish records say that she died of "neuralgia of the heart." She was buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery in Girardville after a High Mass on Nov. 4, 1905. These records state that the costs were: Lot $20, High Mass and Burial $11, Fence $2, Grave digging $4.50, for a total of $37.50

      Mary's Find A Grave Memorial number is 21826545.
